Tractors parked outside French National Assembly as protests return to Paris
PoliticoMAY 2025
This deregulation bill represents a dangerous rollback of environmental protections that threatens biodiversity and undermines years of progress in sustainable agriculture. Reauthorizing acetamiprid directly contradicts scientific evidence about neonicotinoids' harmful effects on bee populations, while the legislation primarily serves industrial agriculture giants rather than supporting small-scale and organic farmers who represent the future of sustainable food production. The amendments aren't obstruction but necessary safeguards to prevent ecological damage.
